The Corruption of Science

 I have often pointed out that the whole "climate change" theory is an utter hoax, a sophisticated hoax to be sure, but just as Piltdown Man was a hoax, so is "climate change."  The panic porn of Covid is equally a hoax.  In both cases I do not dispute that climate change is happening, or that the Cov-Sars-2 virus is real.  Rather, the notion that climate change is man made is what the hoax.  And reporting that Covid-19 is more dangerous than it actually is, is the actual hoax.  Today, at the American Thinker, Norman Rogers has an article entitled The "Science" of Climate Change that skewers both the hoaxes as unscientific.

The science surrounding COVID has been hijacked for political purposes. People who recovered from the disease are pushed to get vaccinated, even though they have a natural immunity that is stronger than vaccine immunity. People are required to wear masks even though masks are essentially useless for preventing infection. People that die are reported as dying of COVID even though they died of something else. The government demands that children be vaccinated even though they are naturally resistant to the disease and suffer disturbing side effects from the vaccine. Schools are closed for no good reason.

The “science” of climate change is also BS. That should be easier to accept after seeing what the government did to COVID science. Why do politicians want to hype a nonexistent climate crisis? In a word: power. By claiming that there is an urgent climate crisis the politicians can spend billions to fight the imaginary foe. Those billions create political allies and reward friends. H.L. Mencken put it nicely in 1918:

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

Rogers is a real, honest to goodness scientist, and seems to know where the bodies are buried. He drops names like that of Richard Lindzen and others less famous. You will want to check out the many links he provides to these other scientists' sites.  But for many, he points out, they really can't afford to tell the truth.  To do so is the kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

I spent 10 years going to the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union. I spoke with many climate scientists including many who freely admitted in private that global warming is a very dubious enterprise.

I remember a Danish guy who visited beaches in northern Greenland by dog sled. He discovered 6,000-year-old driftwood on a beach always blocked by ice, year-round. That was clear evidence that the Arctic Ocean was summer ice-free during a time called the Holocene Optimum. Present-day global warmers claim that our coming climate disaster will again make the Arctic Ocean summer ice-free, something that happened 6,000 years ago with no help from SUVs or belching cows. Of course, the guy was afraid to make too much of his discovery because it challenges the climate doom theory.

There is no such thing as an early career climate scientist that is skeptical concerning global warming. I actually tried to find one and did a poster at a scientific meeting on the subject. The reason is simple. It is not because the science is so clear that only an idiot would question it. It is because our early-career climate scientist would soon be looking for a new job. Interfering with the flow of money from Washington is grounds for dismissal.

What we are seeing is the corruption of science by money from governments and corporate interests, who hope to gain money and power from these hoaxes.
